Like those wheels.... which are those?

That steering cowl looks like its seen 1 million mile!

People be going bonkers... Bananas, haywire... lol ok I am done. Yes that is ridiculous. Now every other salvaged title seller will think they can get that, and the cycle continues.

They're Rota's, poor people LOVE them. I think I looked into this car right after Katrina, a flood car if I remember correctly. It's pretty but yeah, the seller's dreaming.

From the listing:

Quote:

Price is firm, will not be drop [sic] any lower.

Looks like he will be keeping the car indefinitely.

Hurricane Katrina was August 2005. This car is a MY 2008.

Dang it. I've done it again. I wasn't trying to be rude or anything. I was just saying it couldn't have been from Katrina. Another flood later, perhaps, but not Katrina. *sigh*

No. If I went to the time and expense to list a $35,000 item on ebay I would actually write a decent description. The only thing the seller forgot was something about how great it drifts. That's the worst auto add I've ever read.

"The bad title does not give this car justice, it run and look better than the one with clean title. The millage is the actual miles on the car, but of course it will increase a little bit as time go by. I also instal a sound system, sound very nice."

The spelling and grammar is atrocious. My guess is someone's trying to flip a Hurricane Sandy car.

RMurphy · 12-11-2012, 11:32 PM

Slow news day, eh?

OMG, yeah! And an oil warning light, and the battery light, and the seatbelts light and... geez! Look at how low it's idling in that picture too. It's almost like it's not even running. And look at the wicked bad angle of the wiper blade! My god it's just awful.

Based on the pictures alone, the car looks reasonably sharp. The ad is written horribly. If the car is priced wrong, it won't sell.

Podunks · 12-14-2012, 06:14 AM

They will not be able to sell that even if they dropped $10k off the price...

lotusespritse · 12-24-2012, 12:30 PM

Really hate when people take pics of cars still sitting in its own dirty bath water. Would it kill you to drive it to a nice scenic place to take a pic instead of a back alley of low rent strip mall???

Hextavo · 12-31-2012, 04:39 PM

OMG OMG you guys are allll missing something soo important here! This guy is justified in his price!!

ITS MOMO EDITION!

Roosey · 01-01-2013, 11:16 AM

I'm laughing so hard reading the description

quote from seller-"The car have a bad title from the last owner. He told me that someone in his family borrow the car and run over a curve which only damage the front right bumber and scrap the bottom of the bottom right. But the car come back with a salvage title"
